Default Just finished installing my leveling kit

I had the rough country 2 inch leveling kit I just put on the Ram. I purchased the polyurathane one because it should hold up a little better in these michigan winters. still only have my 265/75R16 on right now. Need some new ones. looking to go some where from 285/75R16 up to 35x12.50R18 or so. anything inbetween will work too. im just a broke college kid, so if anyone wants to help out, let me know.

Anyway, total install time was 2 hours 45 minutes. luckily weather was nice. pictures show before and after, decent pics, but it looks better up close in person. I kept my stock shocks, it was a really simple install.

apparently my pics are too large to for this site, so just check out my site at cardomain, there are the before and afters as best i could do...enjoy!

Looks good! I enjoyed putting the leveling kit in my truck. I went with a 2" taller coil from Skyjacker instead of a spacer. But it works the same!

heres a few tips for you.

-shoot all the nuts and bolts with some lube before to make it a little easier.
-be sure to use lock tite on all new hardware intsalled
-do the drivers side last, its harder, so once you got it down on the passanger, it will go much smoother
-disconnect the front sway bar from both sides otherwise you will never get that spring and space in there.
-put the spring spacer in top first, then bottom last (much easier, just kick into place)
-a second set of hands just to help hold the spring and spacer when puttin that in is a ton of help cuz its really heavy.


if you have any specific questions, go ahead and ask....ill help with what i can
